HKS HIPERMAX S Coilovers for Corvette C8 Z06 – Retains OEM Front lift

HKS HIPERMAX S Coilovers for C8 Corvette Z06
Compatible with 2023–2025 Chevrolet Corvette C8 Z06 (Retains OEM Front Lift)
Unlock the full handling potential of your C8 Corvette Z06 with the HKS HIPERMAX S Coilover Kit. Developed specifically for the LT6-powered Z06, this premium suspension system delivers the ideal balance of track-ready performance, daily comfort, and precise adjustability while retaining compatibility with the factory hydraulic front lift system.
Designed and extensively tested by HKS engineers, the HIPERMAX S addresses the factory suspension's harsh ride quality and high-riding appearance by lowering the vehicle for a more aggressive stance while significantly improving ride comfort and chassis control. Rather than relying solely on theoretical calculations, HKS performed extensive real-world testing to fine-tune spring rates, damping, and suspension geometry for superior street and track performance.
At the heart of the system is HKS's latest Dual Preload Valve System (Dual PVS), which reduces excessive damping at high piston speeds to improve stability, minimize unnecessary suspension movement, and deliver more predictable handling across varying road conditions.
The HIPERMAX S features 30 levels of damping adjustment at all four corners, allowing you to tailor the suspension for comfortable daily driving, spirited canyon runs, or dedicated track use. HKS recommends 20 clicks back for a smooth yet controlled street ride and 15 clicks back for increased stability during aggressive or high-speed driving.
Designed for long-term durability, the system incorporates laser-etched markings, spring insulators, PNE surface treatment, WR Needle technology, and specially engineered lightweight aluminum pillow ball upper mounts to maximize rigidity while reducing weight. An electronic suspension error canceller is included as standard equipment to eliminate factory suspension warning lights after installation.
Whether you're looking to eliminate the factory wheel gap, improve cornering performance, or enjoy a more refined suspension without sacrificing factory front lift functionality, the HIPERMAX S delivers one of the most complete suspension upgrades available for the C8 Z06.
